I have the terrible problem of owning two water makers. One is a Katadyn 80e I've had for a number of years on my smaller boat. It runs well and only has a few hundred hours on it. My 36' trawler I'm now using came with a Spectra 150 MPC (long story short, both water makers came from the same person/friend). The Spectra is not installed, it was lightly used and I believe in great shape. For those not familiar with these two units they both draw about the same 8/9 amps (12v) but the Spectra puts out around 6gph vs 3gph for the Katadyn. However, the Katadyn is so much smaller and simpler I'm thinking of installing that on my 36' trawler and storing (or selling) the Spectra. Does anyone have any experience with both of these units such as the double output is worth it for the Spectra? I should note that power is not an issue on my boat with 700 watts of solar, a wind turbine, and a generator.
Thanks!
